Because she had experienced real death, she cherished the feeling of being alive all the more.

By this time, Hermione had finished reading the recipe for the Relic Potion.

She asked Zicomo, "Cousin, can I make some relic potions?"

Zicomo nodded and said, "Of course."

Although most of the herbs used to make Relic Potions are extremely rare.

However, with the "Zen Garden" there, Chicomo has no shortage of herbs.

And those less precious materials can also be bought in the wizarding world.

Moreover, Zicomo originally intended to use the Relic Potion to elevate Hermione to the limits of humanity, laying the foundation for her to become a god.

So Zicomo waved his hand and said that Hermione could do whatever she wanted with him.

However, to avoid Hermione gaining too much power at once and being unable to control the surge in strength.

Zicomo cautioned, "By the way, remember not to take too much at once, or your power might get out of control."

Hermione nodded obediently, indicating that she understood.

Then, he said impatiently, "Let's hurry back to 'Zen Garden'!"

Zicomo waved his hand, leading the three women back to the "Zen Garden".

Chapter 330 The Divine Artifact: The Staff of Death, A Test from the World

Inside the "Zen Garden".

Zicomo was not studying the newly acquired equipment blueprints and relic potion recipes.

Lani and Hermione took care of these two items respectively, and Zicomo was happy to reap the benefits.

Of course, Zicomo wasn't idle either.

After spending some time familiarizing himself with the power he possessed as a god, Zicomo took out a scythe that was over two meters tall.

This is Thanatos, the weapon of Death.

After killing Thanatos, Zicomo casually stored it in his system space.

And then I forgot about it.

It wasn't until he saw the scythe called "Void Soul Reaper" in the equipment encyclopedia that Zicomo remembered it.

This thing is quite a magical artifact, and Zicomo is thinking about how to make the most of it.

Hermione, Lani, and Melina did not wield scythes, nor did they possess the power of death.

Even if Death's scythe were given to them, it would be of no use.

Zicomo already has the Darkmoon Greatsword and the Death Staff, so he doesn't need this either.

Moreover, he wasn't good at using a sickle.

Ultimately, Zicomo decided to incorporate it into his Death Staff.

The reason for this choice is that both are weapons with the power of death.

By fusing the Grim Reaper's scythe into the Death Staff, the power of the Death Staff can be maximized.

Perhaps it will be possible to upgrade the Death Staff to the level of a divine artifact in one fell swoop.

With this in mind, Zicomo's golden divine power surged, and following the Shu Mountain weapon-forging method, he began to forge the Grim Reaper's scythe.

If Zikomo does not ascend to godhood, this step may be very difficult to execute.

Because he was unsure whether the power of the divine being could affect the artifact.

The most likely scenario is that it's completely impossible to destroy the Grim Reaper's scythe, let alone melt it down.

Now, Zicomo has successfully ascended to godhood.

Forging Death's scythe was as easy for him as forging any ordinary weapon.

Moments later, Death's scythe turned into a pool of liquid.

This is the essence of the divine weapon forged by Zicomo.

Zicomo took out the Staff of Death and pressed the essence of the artifact in his hand onto it.

He then made a hand seal, and as Zicomo moved, the Death Staff slowly absorbed the essence of the artifact.

The Death Staff had long been forged by Zicomo into something akin to his natal flying sword.

Therefore, like the Darkmoon Greatsword, it can absorb various weapons to enhance its own power.

The weapons that Zikomo obtained in the borderlands were also incorporated into the Darkmoon Greatsword and the Death Staff, just like they are now.

Incidentally, Zikomo practically fused the entire 'Sky City' Famyazra into the Darkmoon Greatsword.

Gu Long's architecture did not suit Zicomo's aesthetic, and besides, his "Zen Garden" already had an Aberreille city.

So Zicomo simply melted Famyazla down completely.

Most of them were used by Zicomo to enhance the Darkmoon Greatsword.

The solid and heavy characteristics of Fam'yazra's building materials are fully inherited by the Darkmoon Greatsword.

And in one fell swoop, the Darkmoon Greatsword was brought to a level close to that of a divine weapon.

Furthermore, the Darkmoon Greatsword also inherited the weight of Famyazra.

The Darkmoon Greatsword is now as heavy as a 'Sky City', and only its master, Zicomo, can lift it.

The remaining small portion of Famyazra was used by Zikomo to reinforce the Death Staff.

Zikomo was afraid that the Death Staff would break in the upcoming battle with the Beast of Elden, so he reinforced it.

Zicomo felt it wasn't safe enough at the time, but he didn't expect that he would soon obtain the Death Scythe, which could further enhance the Death Staff.

A moment later, the Staff of Death completed absorbing the essence of the artifact.

In Zicomo's perception, the Death Staff had surpassed the quality of the Reaper's Scythe before it was forged.

After all, Zicomo had previously enhanced the Death Staff with many other weapons.

But Zicomo felt that something was wrong.

He held the Death Staff in his hand and shook it, hoping it would give him some reaction.

Although Thanatos was a rather weak deity, his scythe was a truly divine weapon.

There's no reason why the Death Staff would remain completely silent after absorbing an artifact.

Zicomo attempted to cast the 'Summoning the Undead' spell on the Death Staff.

A small group of undead and the dead appeared before him, their aura and death power far exceeding those of a previous level.

This indicates that the quality of the Death Staff has been significantly improved.

But this is not the change Zicomo wanted to see.

In Zicomo's view, even if he himself became a god, he would unconsciously exude an aura of power and pressure.

There's no reason why the Death Staff would remain completely silent after becoming a divine artifact.

Zicomo pondered for a long time but couldn't figure it out, so he simply activated the system.

"System, shouldn't my Death Staff be considered a divine artifact?"

The Death Staff has reached the quality level of an artifact, but it is still one step away from becoming one.

It needs to withstand the test of the world and gain its recognition before it can become a true divine artifact.

The system's words made Zicomo think of a possibility.

Zicomo asked, "The trials of the world you're talking about, you wouldn't happen to be tribulations of lightning, would you?"

Yes, the host guessed correctly.

Zicomo was surprised to find that his guess was correct.

'Whenever a divine artifact appears in the world, it is always preceded by a tribulation of lightning. Only by successfully surviving this tribulation can it earn the title of divine artifact.'

This is a record that Zicomo saw in an ancient book on weapon crafting in the Shu Mountains.

Although it sounds a bit strange that a Western-style divine weapon needs to undergo a tribulation of lightning.

But when he thought about how he was using the weapon-refining techniques of Mount Shu to enhance the Death Staff, Zicomo felt that it was quite reasonable for it to undergo a tribulation of lightning.

Thinking of this, Zicomo sighed, "Fortunately, becoming a god doesn't require being struck by lightning."

[A reminder to the host: Becoming a deity also requires undergoing a trial similar to a tribulation of lightning.]

[And the host has already completed the corresponding test.]

Zicomo: ? ? ?

"I don't remember going through any trials."

The world's trials are usually issued when the host's realm breaks through to godhood.

[The host had killed Thanatos before this and completely absorbed him, thus gaining control of the Grim Reaper.]
